Question

In eclipse when I press the tab key, it takes the current line to the correct indentation instantly…even if that is 5 tab’s in. So

public class TabTest {
  public void func1() {
    int a = 1;
|int b = 2;

The ‘|’ pipe being where the cursor is, when I hit tab once it looks correct

public class TabTest {
  public void func1() {
    int a = 1;
   |int b = 2;

In intellij I have to hit tab twice. Or here is another annoyance.

public class TabTest {
  public void func1() {
    int a = 1;|int b = 2;

In eclipse ‘Enter’ will result in

public class TabTest {
  public void func1() {
    int a = 1;
   |int b = 2;

In Intellij that takes an enter, tab, tab.

Anyone know how to get what i had in eclipse into intellij?

From CrazyCoder comment, the solution seems to be :

• map the tab key on the “Auto-indent Lines” action
• unmap the tab key from the “Tab” and “Indent Selection” actions
